GBNews24 Desk//
A tailor, who allegedly made a social media post in support of suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, was brutally murdered in his shop in India’s Udaipur today (June 28, 2022). The incident has triggered communal tension in the area, police said.
Curfew was announced tonight in parts of Udaipur town in the Indian state of Rajasthan after the incident, reports our New Delhi correspondent.
The two accused, who filmed the murder and bragged about it on camera in social media, have been arrested from Rajsamand, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot tweeted.
Nupur’s controversial comments about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during a TV debate last month had sparked outrage and a major diplomatic row as India faced a backlash from several Muslim countries.
Two men reached the tailor’s shop – under Dhan Mandi police station area of Udaipur – this afternoon posing as customers. When the tailor started taking one’s measurement, the other person captured it on video using a mobile phone.
When the tailor was noting down the measurement, one of the persons attacked him with a sharp weapon, leaving him dead on the spot.
The attacker and his associate escaped and later shot another video in which they confessed to have slit the throat of the tailor and also threatened Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
